I read that using the Wireless Display xbox one app, i should be able to connect my laptop to my xbox over wifi.

But I can't.

When i press win+p and try and connect to my xbox display (it shows up), it never works.

Just shows "Couldn't connect to device".

On my xbox it does show my pc "is about to project", but it just fails.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    I had the same issue when my pc was connected using both wifi and lan.

    It worked if both the xbox and pc were only connected using wifi.

    I am not sure why this actually fixed it but it might be related to the different subnets and ip addresses used on different networks?

    As in a similar thread here, I also had the problem that the xbox would not show up at all on the pc if the xbox was connected using wifi and the pc was connected using lan.

    Hi

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    Start by uninstalling the Xbox app then download and install the Xbox (beta) app then see if it works.

    Open Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features

    	Scroll down to Xbox

	Select it

	Click uninstall

    Restart then download:

    Try connecting to the Wireless display again.

    Hi,

    Both my devices are using LAN.

    I have no updated my computer to Windows 10 version 1903, which was required for the wireless display adaptor. Or so I thought.

    I still can't project my pc to the XBOX.

    Surely there must be more info on this?

    In my event viewer I do see the following critical error:

    The device XboxOne (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash.  Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times.  Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem.

    What could that mean?
